Updates on the Upcoming Street and Transit Amenities Program (STAP)

The Bureau of Street Services is excited to report an update on STAP!

It has been a minute since StreetsLA has been able to report any changes to the Sidewalk and Transit Amenities Program (STAP) due to the confidentiality of the contract negotiation phase until the negotiations are completed and the contract documents and related staff reports are forwarded to the Board of Public Works and/or the City Council. Now that the contract negotiation is complete, we are happy to report that the Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) was finalized in March 2022. As a result, the Board of Public Works will be hearing the contract for the Sidewalk and Transit Amenities Program (STAP) and the Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) on May 11, 2022. Check out the agenda and the attached documents. If you want to call in to support the program, please do so by joining the Board of Public Works meeting using the following meeting link: 161 637 1032.

The tentative date for the the Draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to be heard at the City Council’s Public Works Committee will tentatively be late May or early June 2022. The anticipated date for the contract award will be July 2022.

We will begin a community engagement process with the awarded contractor in that is set to begin in the Summer of 2022 and finalize first year locations in late-summer/early-fall 2023.

To address any questions you may have, we are hosting two Public Information Sessions in the coming weeks. Register below and ask your questions or share your concerns! If you are unable to attend these meetings, we will be recording the information session and be posting it online on the STAP page.
